1035 The Girl From West Pole (1/2)

Celestial Venerable Hong laughed. ”Grand Emperor? Who's the Grand Emperor?”

Qin Mu smiled and didn't say anything.

Celestial Venerable Hong chuckled. ”After returning from the Great Void, Dao Brother now has a lady with him. However, this lady isn't Celestial Empress. There are masters of creation in the Great Void. Hence, I made the bold conjecture that this lady is an ancient primordial divine king. As for the Grand Emperor, Dao Brother said it yourself.”

He sighed ruefully. ”Dao Brother said that the Grand Emperor is hiding among us, the ten Celestial Venerables. However, Dao Brother didn't mention who that might be, causing us to be suspicious of each other. Dao Brother wouldn't suspect that I'm the Grand Emperor, would he?”

Qin Mu praised, ”Celestial Venerable Hong's explanation is flawless. I'm impressed.”

Celestial Venerable Hong laughed heartily. As he looked at Divine King Lang Wo, he smiled with narrowed eyes. ”In that case, is this lady an ancient primordial divine king?”

Divine King Lang Wo shook her head and said in a gentle voice, ”I'm from the distant ancient era, not the ancient primordial era.”

Celestial Venerable Hong said, ”The first year of the Dragon Han Era separates the ancient primordial era from the distant ancient era. The establishment of the celestial heavens in the first year of the Dragon Han Era marked the start of the distant ancient civilization. When we reached the Crimson Emperor Era, that was the start of the high ancient era. The distant ancient era lasted 560,000 years, while the high ancient era lasted 400,000 years. After that, we arrived at the Founding Emperor Era, which is the later ancient era, also referred to simply as the ancient era. That lasted 20,000 years. The present era encompasses the collapse of the Founding Emperor Era until now, which is about a million years. Could Lady be a master of creation born during the Dragon Han Era?”

Divine King Lang Wo gave a beautiful smile, instantly captivating everyone in the carriage. ”Why does Celestial Venerable insist that I'm a master of creation?”

Celestial Venerable Hong touched the whorls on his thumb as he smiled faintly. ”Because Lady is from the Great Void. Apart from the masters of creation, there is only Carefree Village. You were born during the ancient primordial era, and Founding Emperor's Carefree Village was only established 20,000 years ago, in the later ancient era. Hence, you are clearly not from Carefree Village.”

West Deity had been staring intensely at Divine King Lang Wo. Upon hearing these words, she got anxious again.

Qin Mu laughed heartily and leisurely said, ”Celestial Venerable Hong, I didn't invite you here to discuss where my sister is from. Since you aren't the Grand Emperor, then it's not relevant to you whether she's a master of creation or a divine king. I invited you here to tell West Deity that had she attacked your celestial fort earlier in order to steal your divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu, she would be dead by now.”

West Deity's heart tightened as she remained silent.

Ever since Celestial Venerable Hong entered the treasure carriage, he had been in control. He had cast aside the matter of his plot and successfully stirred up hostility between him and Divine King Lang Wo.

However, Qin Mu had now managed to change the topic back.

When faced with these two old wily foxes, West Deity felt that it was best for her not to say anything.

The more she said, the more mistakes she would make. The more she did, the faster she would die.

Even for Divine King Lang Wo, who was sitting there quietly, she was unable to see through her.

She now discovered that among the four in this carriage, she was the simplest.

Qin Mu got up and said, ”A catastrophe has been averted, dissipating into nothingness. Celestial Venerable should be going back then.”

Celestial Venerable Hong also stood up, putting on the appearance of a kind-hearted old man. He then chuckled. ”Dao Brother, you have thwarted my plans. However, as you are my senior, there's nothing I can do. I will need Dao Brother to compensate me in the future.”

”Well said, well said.”

Qin Mu sent him off, saying, ”Since I thwarted Dao Friend's plans, I will give you a piece of information as compensation. The ancient Celestial Emperor is hiding among the ten Celestial Venerables, and so are Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmu.”

The body of Celestial Venerable Hong shook slightly as he turned around. He smiled ambiguously. ”Though it makes sense, this piece of information has nevertheless stunned me. Mother Earth is already so hard to kill, not completely vanquished, as she has continued to wreak havoc. Not to mention Celestial Emperor, who is far superior. However, although this piece of news is pretty valuable, it's insufficient to compensate me for my loss. The West Pole is one of the Four Extreme Heavens. Being one of the four poles of the universe, it's definitely not insignificant.”

Qin Mu said leisurely, ”What if I told you Gong Yun is also among the ten Celestial Venerables? Is that sufficient?”

”Who is Gong Yun?”

Celestial Venerable Hong asked puzzledly, ”Unless it's Celestial Venerable Gong?”

Qin Mu looked at him, paying attention to his subtle expressions. He was unable to see any concealment on his part. ”Gong Yun is also called Xin Fu, and she was one of the three divine kings in the ancient primordial era. She was the wife of the Grand Emperor and had God Emperor Lang Xuan with the ancient Celestial Emperor.”

Celestial Venerable Hong's heart shuddered. He chuckled. ”The ten Celestial Venerables actually have so much fishy business. To think that I have called them my Dao friends for hundreds of thousands of years. I actually had no idea of their history! I've learned and benefited much from you!”

Qin Mu still couldn't see anything wrong with his expression. He quietly thought, 'This is what Village Chief calls old and experienced. Not giving the game away, unfathomable.”'

”Dao Friend Hong, I have thwarted your plan this time, and it's hard to compensate you adequately with these two pieces of information. In the future, I will definitely return this favor.”

Qin Mu said with great sincerity, ”Dao Friend, put aside the West Pole for the moment and revisit again in the future.”

Celestial Venerable Hong smiled. ”It's not that I don't trust Dao Brother, but since you owe me a favor, I need you to provide a written pledge.”

Qin Mu took out paper and brush and wrote down a pledge.

Celestial Venerable Hong floated away after taking the written pledge.
